Johnny English - Uudestisyntynyt

Rowan Atkinson is funny even when he's just standing and staring blankly, but in a hundred minutes he will get boring sooner or later (sooner, in my case) and not even Scully can help him. (15.01.2012)

This amounts to unnecessary suffering that is only functional when the last two Bond films are made fun of. Otherwise, the film offers a crystalline distillate of essential awkwardness in which Atkinson's "poker face" is completely off, you can read the villain from the opening credits, and the only pleasant surprise left is that Gillian Anderson is an utterly luxurious "MILF." :) (26.10.2011)

A sad piece that works in exactly four moments: the Toshiba, the chase on the rooftops, the helicopter and the closing credits scene. (21.01.2012)

One half of the plot, which even 007 would almost be proud of, the other half a continuation of the traditions of classic comedies from the 60s á la Louis de Funès. Thanks to the perpetually stone-faced expression of the main character, the second salvo of Johnny's escapades is infinitely enjoyable, even with the unnecessary overdose of the most trivial gag of the whole film. The highlight is then Rowan's perfect cooking lesson, which you better rehearse carefully beforehand. (19.11.2011)

Johnny English's sequel could only be worse in two ways compared to the bland first installment: If Rowan Atkinson wasn't playing the lead role, or if he was, but for some mysterious reason he'd stop being funny. Fortunately, nothing like that happened and I can say that I like Johnny English Reborn better than its predecessor. There are many more memorable moments in the film, the absolute best of which is the cunning Hong Kong chase, and there are more original (the chair, the helicopter) and unprecedentedly refined jokes (the training with Tibetan monks and his gradual improvement - especially in the cable car), there's not a single fecal scene I hated the writers for, as was the case with the previous film, and thanks to the constant battles with the maniacal cleaning lady, we learn that a repeated joke can still be a joke if you know how to repeat it properly. And the biggest positive is the fact that this time Agent English is not such a blatantly clumsy idiot, but rather a capable and likeable person, who of course often has bad luck.__P.S. The scene in the credits made me cry. Laughing, of course. (04.02.2012)

A sequel that relies far too much on mimicry and the unlimited self-mockery of Atkinson, or rather his lead character. I'm not saying it's not fun, after all, who does mime and self-mockery better these days than Mr.Bean? But the charismatic Johnny English certainly didn't deserve such a dumb and illogical script after the nice first episode. A comedy on the basis of "switch off and laugh at everything", in my opinion quite unworthy of the clever cinematic humour that even much less renowned filmmakers across the Channel manage without such problems and with deaf, blind, dumb spots... 60% (12.02.2012)

The second Johnny English follows in the footsteps of its predecessor in terms of atmosphere and plot, and while it doesn't offer much that's new, it's an enjoyable and funny hundred minutes of screen time. We're once again dealing with treacherous villains, and once again we witness English getting from one trouble to the next (the boss's mother and the Queen could tell you about it). But it still worked for me and the plot pretty much moved along so I didn't get bored. (05.09.2023)

I have to say that I didn't expect much from this movie. After all, I thought that "Johnny English Reborn" would be just an ordinary nonsense trying to stupidly follow the first film. But in the end, I have to say that I am quite satisfied. The one who is mainly responsible for it is, of course, Rowan Atkinson. He is not as crazy as usual, although some scenes will directly remind you of classic Mr. Bean sketches, but the film is presented quite tastefully and it is very similar to the movie "Get Smart", with which it also has a very similar plot. To tell the truth, I would probably prefer "Smart" because Anne Hathaway played there as well. "Johnny English" shows that Rowan Atkinson still has comedic potential and that he can easily carry the whole film. He slaps his mom's boss and is not afraid to hit the British queen on the head with a tray. Yes, there are a lot of connections to the classic Mr. Bean. In addition to that, you will also get English, who is learning from monks. The film "Johnny English Reborn" doesn't bring anything revolutionary, it doesn't try to, but it is simply a pleasant reunion with an old acquaintance who is still as clueless, but manages to get out of every situation. The story is schematic, but in this case, it doesn't matter that much. You will be entertained if you survive a few scenes that you will find familiar and maybe unnecessarily stupid. It's a shame that Gillian Anderson's opportunity was wasted. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/07/runaways-rok-jedna-nedotknutelni-johnny.html (22.02.2013)
